The most important ship in the history of New Zealand and Australia is Captain James Cook's 106 ft (32 metres) long barque Endeavour. While the original is long gone, scuttled in a blockade of Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island, USA, in 1778, a replica was built by the Australian National Maritime museum in the 1990s and now sails on regular passenger carrying voyages around both countries (note that if you're a tall person, you may not find the 18th century interior very comfortable!). Details of the activities of the replica are on this website.
More details of Captain Cook's voyages are in this budget priced book, among others, available in our shop.
